Hello, with eight authors for eight chapters I am proposing a concise guide on virtual heritage to publishers. I believe I have been allowed UNESCO chair/Curtin funding to pay publishing open access fees (so the book can be free as online PDFs) and hopefully reasonably priced to purchase.
I believer we now have two recommendations for external reviewers but we still need to get all author chapter abstracts ready and the proposal to the publisher for approval. Each chapter will be a taut 3500 words with 1-3 images.
Given the book is aimed at graduate or senior undergraduate students who may not be familiar with an overview or specific topics of virtual heritage, what title is best?
Virtual Heritage in Focus?
Virtual Heritage: A Concise Guide?
Also, are we missing an important chapter/theme subject?
Foreword: Classrooms and Projects

Which one do you think will be covering the aspects of reconstruction vs modelling.
Also in a recent meeting around a grant proposal, I had a very brief interaction around metadata and standards. I saw how AR/VR/XR wants/follow commercial or Hollywood standards while Virtual heritage especially when aligning with Museum studies would need something more open, robust and comprehensive.
Just some pointers, I am not even sure if those are in the right direction or valid ones.
Thanks for both suggestions. Formats and recon vs modelling aren’t well covered. i think though there is more battle within AR/VR for Hollywood/propietary or open standards. I know quite a few people in AR promoting open standards. In VH a point closer to home is probably the lack of open and accessible VH models https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/8/2425/htm
